Yep, one of my peeves with gem is that it does this. I always want gems to be installed in the system location, if I forget to sudo gem I don't want it to be installed in my home directory. I finally removed all permisions from my ~/.gem directory so if I forget, it let's me know rather than giving me a useless install. chmod 000 ~/.gem -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
